1. Daniels, it must be said again, is a true professional. He could have used his promo time to put himself over, but instead he used it to put over Eddie Edwards even more, even crediting him for making the TV Title relevant. I'd still like to see Daniels use some promo time to explain why he de »»
1. I noticed that Cole and O'Reilly, when talking about the other tag teams in ROH, only had negative things to say about the All-Night Express. Cole and O'Reilly have looked good since joining ROH, but I'm not sure they've been around long enough or accomplished enough to talk about Kenny King an »»

This week's reason: National Championship Game. Nuff said. That, however, is no excuse for you to not read Kyle Sparks' great review of this week's show. Now, let's have some thoughts! 1. Pretty ho-hum debut for Mike Bennett. They did make him look dominant, not in the sense that he beat th »»
Welcome, everyone, to the last "10 Thoughts on ROH" column of 2010! I debated whether or not to do one this week, given that it's a recap show (and I'd risk repeating thoughts I had when the recapped matches actually happened), but I just love you guys way too much. Now, before you dive into this »»

Hi folks, after a week off, I am fully moved into my new house, with DirecTV and Internet! I'm certain my absence was barely missed last week, as the incomparable Kyle Sparks pulled off double duty last week, providing you with both a full recap of the show AND his 10 thoughts! Be sure to keep che »»
Remember, my dozens (AND DOZENS) of readers: for a full review of this show, check out Kyle Sparks' surely superb review of it. You could skip it, but that would just make you look like a damn fool, and you're not a fool, are you? OK, I know you don't come here for my attempts at wit, so let's »»
1. Maybe I missed the explanation, but why did Prince Nana stop Necro Butcher from bringing a chair into the ring? Did the stipulation that all of Necro's matches are to be contested under Butcher's Rules get pulled? It'd make perfect sense from a storyline standpoint if that was the case, but it »»

First off, my apologies to my dozens (AND DOZENS!) of readers for my tardiness, which seems to be happening quite a bit these days. Those of you that have planned a wedding know that it can be a lot of work. Those of you that have bought a house know that it can be a lot of work. Well, those of y »»
Sorry folks, meant to get to the show a little earlier tonight, but Rangers-Yankees took precedence over just about everything else tonight. Hey, cut me some slack, we haven't been good in what feels like forever. As always, for a blow-by-blow recap of the show, check out the always good Kyle Sp »»

Kenny King has re-signed with Ring of Honor. ROH has also signed Canadian wrestler Kyle O'Reilly. O'Reilly has competed in ROH several times before, most recently this past Friday in Plymouth, MA, where he faced off against Austin Aries. Click here to read the press release. »»
1. The opener for this show was not strong. I like Cabana and he always pulls his weight, but if you've seen one of his comedy matches, you've seen them all. Mondo wasn't particularly good here - Cabana had his right leg wrapped up, and you don't think to hit him there ONCE? 2. Good move on T »»
1. I liked the decision to start the show with a video of the All-Night Express being announced as the #1 contenders for the tag titles. Taking the time to show it again makes the title shot seem like a big deal and, accordingly, makes the ANX seem like a big deal. Plus, it must be said again, th »»

But before we get into it, I am morally obligated, for your own good, to refer you to Kyle Sparks, who's always ready to hook you up with superb play-by-play reviews of ROH's »»
Yes, a day late, I know, and I apologize. In my household, however, Dallas and Chicago sports teams take precedence over just about everything else. With the Mavericks playing the Miami Heat's Unholy Trinity, and the Bears on Monday Night Football, well . . . but hey, unlike me, Kyle Sparks would »»

First things first - Go check out Kyle Sparks' review for the full blow-by-blow. We're not allowed to fly together, you know. Because if something happened, who'd take care of you? Oh, yeah, someone else, who probably spares you the lame jokes. Wait, what? Oh, yeah, thoughts. Yeah, I got 'em »»
1. Tonight's opener accomplished what squashes are supposed to. Grizzly Redwood knows how to take a beating, and he made Kevin Steen's power moves (F-5? Air Raid Crash?) look like death. Steen's mannerisms were also on point, as they've been most of the year, and putting the Generico mask on Red »»

OK, my dozens (AND DOZENS) of readers, this time, it was NOT my fault!

Hero and Castagnoli join Kenny King and Colt Cabana, who were announced earlier this week. Eight spo »»
1. The opening segment was very effective. It clearly drew the battle lines between the American Wolves and Shane Hagadorn, and it gives the Kings of Wrestling someone to feud with in the short term. My only complaints is that it felt a little too rushed and didn't draw much of a reaction from th »»
1. I liked Eddie Edwards breaking away from Shane Hagadorn, or at least showing signs that he is going to. The ROH fans obviously don't want to boo Edwards, so as entertaining as he was as a prick during the Ten-Minute hunts (which had grown stale anyway), ROH is wise not to fight the crowd reacti »»
1. The Kings of Wrestling's mannerisms are awesome. I like how they "follow" the Code of Honor by shaking each other's hands, rather than their opponents. The uppercut/elbow pose is really cool, too. Hero and Castagnoli are playing above the rim right now. 2. Very well-laid out opener betwee »»

1. It's hard to buy Hogewood and Prazak selling Erick Stevens as a powerhouse, even among ROH's smaller wrestlers, when he has dropped so much weight. I still dig his work in the ring, but I think slimming down has made him look pretty generic. 2. Not a particularly good opener from ROH tonigh »»

1. Man, poor Roderick Strong can't get more than a couple of sentences during the House of Truth match mentioning his title victory? Tyler Black always got some footage or at least screen shots the shows after his iPPV title matches. Why not extend Roddy the same treatment? 2. If you don't th »»
